Jim Hacker and Sir Humphrey are BACK! A different story but the same razor-sharp comedy in the prequel to our 2023 hit show.

It’s a tense weekend at Chequers. New Prime Minister Jim Hacker is facing a collapsing economy, party infighting, a hostile media – and Sir Humphrey Appleby. With a high stakes loan on the table and a Civil Service he’s not sure he can trust, Jim must save his premiership, and the economy, while outmanoeuvring his rivals and reasserting democratic control. 

Packed with verbal sparring and laugh-out-loud logic, Yes, Prime Minister tackles modern political issues  – financial crises, Europe, corruption – with razor-sharp wit and crystal clarity.
